Serramax Serradella

We recommend Serramax Serradella, a WA-bred, hard-seeded yellow serradella with an increased rate of hard-seed breakdown that favours strong regeneration. It suits acidic sands and sandy loams in 300mm+ rainfall areas and flowers early, at about 95 days in Perth.

Choose a species that establishes fast. Serramax Serradella establishes quickly, which reduces early weed competition, and it's well suited to acidic sands and sandy loams. We also recommend a good knockdown before sowing and controlling redlegged earth mite at establishment to protect young plants.

We recommend sowing Serramax Serradella at 6 to 10 kg/ha. Inoculate with Group G/S so it nodulates well on acid soils, and sow shallow into moist soil. It's early flowering, at around 95 days in Perth, and suits 300mm+ rainfall on loamy sands to loams.

Serramax Serradella is tolerant of both low pH and waterlogging, making it a good option for acid sandy paddocks that get wet over winter. It's hard seeded and regenerates strongly. It still performs best where water doesn't lie for long periods, and suits 300mm+ rainfall areas.

Serramax Serradella suits permanent pasture and improves soil fertility, boosting yields in subsequent crops through nitrogen fixation. Its hard seed and strong regeneration mean it keeps coming back without resowing. It's suited to acidic sands and sandy loams with 300mm+ rainfall.

For acid sandplain in lower rainfall areas, we recommend Serramax Serradella. It suits 300mm+ rainfall and flowers early, around 95 days in Perth, so it can set seed before the season finishes. It's hard seeded with strong regeneration, and establishes quickly.

Serramax Serradella fits well with ryegrass and other acid-tolerant legumes. We'd suggest Achieve or Wimmera ryegrass for winter bulk, plus Casbah Biserrula or Santorini Serradella to broaden the legume base. Serradellas are generally low bloat risk, and we can build a Custom Mix for your paddock.

In the first year, we recommend grazing lightly and letting the stand flower and set seed to build the seed bank. Serramax Serradella is hard seeded and regenerates strongly, but only if enough seed is set early on. Its semi-erect habit makes it easy for stock to access once established.

Yes, Serramax is a new WA-bred yellow serradella in our range. It's early flowering and hard seeded, with a semi-erect growth habit and faster hard-seed breakdown for strong regeneration. It suits acidic sands and sandy loams in 300mm+ rainfall, sown at 6 to 10 kg/ha.

Serramax is a yellow serradella with strong regeneration, waterlogging tolerance and suitability as a permanent pasture. Fran2o is a pink-flowered French serradella suited to summer sowing in pod, flowering at around 90 days. Both suit acid sandy and loamy soils; choose Serramax for a long-term regenerating pasture.
